Dear Villagers,
The Denby sports club will be expecting the arrival of a group of Guadeloupean students on the 15th of September. It has come to our attention that there will be no rooms available in hotels at that time. We at the club are asking kindly for villagers to consider on letting these students stay in local homes at a fixed and reasonable cost. However, Breakfast and dinner is required everyday except on Sundays whereby lunch is to be included. Households occupying one or more student (preferably one student) is to be fluent in French. If you are interested, submit a letter to the above address by August 26th. Also, expect an inspection of your homes and a consultation shortly after, as it is only in an effort to ensure the homes are suitable to occupy these students. We would greatly appreciate any assistance given.

info.....
Great use of information given, but simple grammar mistakes such as in the second to last paragraph. What could have been stated:
Our hotels are filled and so we request the accommodation of our foreign students into your homes. We anticipate the eager interest of you, our villagers, but one must be able to fluently speak French for our students are not able to speak English.
your purpose here is to make the villagers feel needed not commanded. The use of 'our' brings a closeness causing one to jump at the opportunity. the info concerning them being able to speak French is a let down so the way one gives the info lets them down easily instead of causing the villagers to murmur and might encourage them to learn French as to be apart of this venture next time.
that is just one paragraph I worked on, but the last one needed working on as well.
but, great job you put forth dear.
